The "Prospecting" Forum

Went up to Libby Creek on Sunday to do some detecting to satisfy the need to find gold with the Gold Monster 1000 and got this nice .9 gram nugget. It was the first target I hit on when I got to my location, 10 min into detecting. It took about 40 minutes to get it out of a tight hair line crack.

Here's a little one I found in the pan pretty darned close to Libby Creek....... Would you by any chance have any idea if I can use my "coinshooter" Etrac to shoot small nuggets? I do have a 6" coil but don't have any nuggets to do any testing with to see if and where they may (or may not) fall in my etrac sounds, #'s, etc......???? Just thought I'd throw that at ya as a "long shot? I also have an old Tesoro (golden sabre II) that may be better on gold than the etrac....?????

Nice nugget and good luck on finding some of his friends up there!!!!!!!!!!!!
